Warning, modbus_receive returns 0 when a query is ignored.

- function removed from TCP and RTU code and from backend structure
- updated documentation
- updated examples

Add macros in libmodbus.txt and:
- modbus_get_byte_from_bits.txt
- modbus_get_float.txt
- modbus_reply.txt
- modbus_reply_exception.txt
- modbus_set_bits_from_byte.txt
- modbus_set_bits_from_bytes.txt
- modbus_set_float.txt

Avoid incompatibility with GPLv2 program. This change has been approved by
Tobias Doerffel, Florian octo Forster and Hannu Vuolasaho.

Thank you Ivo De Decker.

The following functions have been renamed:
- modbus_get_timeout_begin -> modbus_get_response_timeout
- modbus_set_timeout_begin -> modbus_set_response_timeout
- modbus_get_timeout_end -> modbus_get_byte_timeout
- modbus_set_timeout_end -> modbus_set_byte_timeout

The meaning of these timeout intervals is now clearer. The documentation
has been updated.

These new functions seem clearer than the recent modbus_receive_from
function IHMO. This change fixes the bandwidth-server-many-up program.

Split the original modbus_receive function in two functions to avoid
the strange -1 value to ignore the sockfd argument.

The _modbus_receive_confirmation()_ function shall receive a
request via the socket of the context 'ctx'. This function must be
used for debugging purposes because the received response isn't
checked against the initial request. This function can be
convenient to receive request not handled by the library.
